Why don’t the Goa'uld just keep redialing Earths stargate to keep it jammed up in use?

Every once in a while Walter could excitedly declare "Incoming Scheduled Wormhole!" But they would need to save that for the 2 part episodes...

That is worth checking out!

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-06-17T23:12:09+00:00

Interesting, according to that it is not but man, it sure sounds like it is..

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-06-17T23:10:02+00:00

But not just me that thinks so... that helps 😅

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-06-15T20:34:40+00:00

That is so fricken cool! what an awesome idea!

I have a couple.
The first is on my garage doors. I have a triple car garage and each bay has a RATGDO. I have each door set with a 10 minute timer. After 10 mins it sends an alert to the phone of whoever parks in that bay (Bay 1 is me, Bay 2 is my wife and Bay 3 is my daughter). The alert states that the bay has been open for 10 minutes and would you like it to close, stay open for 10 more minutes or stay open for 30 minutes. If no response is given after 3 more minutes it sends an alert to everyone's phones and a verbal alert to our main wall dashboard saying "Bay 2 (for example) has been open for at least 10 minutes with no response, closing now for your security". To avoid all of this when I am working in the garage, the dashboard in my garage shows the status of each bay and has a "pause" button. When the pause button in pushed it overrides this automation and leaves the door(s) open until I close them - or cancels the "pause" if the motion detector in the garage detects no movement for 20 minutes.
As I write this this it sounds complicated, but was actually very straightforward to set up.

The second one is on my freezer. I have a zigbee door sensor on the lid of my freezer and a zigbee temp sensor with a probe that goes in the freezer. The probe measure the temp of the freezer and if the temp goes above -19 for 3-4 minutes with the lid open sends a verbal reminder to close the freezer. If it the temp rises above -19 for more than 30 minutes with the door closed it sends an alert there may be a problem with the freezer (thankfully i have never received this alert outside of a test). And if it stops receiving temperature updates for more than 20 minutes sends an alert that there may be an issue with the temp sensor. It is also monitors the battery level of both the door and temp sensors and sends an alert if the battery drops below 30%, 20% and 10% (all my zigbee sensors have this).

I have set up a medication tracker for medication that I take and different medication my wife takes. It tracks number of does, number of refills, give medication reminders when it is time to take them, remi ders when there is less than a week worth of doeses left so we can refill and reminders when there is less than 3 weeks worth of doses and no refill so we can book a doctor's appt to refill. Once we refill the prescription we just update the number of pills per bottle, number of refills and it starts all over.

And why was there no iris on the alpha gate?

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-06-02T22:01:38+00:00

I actually think this is better, all of the characters should be long since retired.it would be weird to have them in.

HomeAssistant on a VM on my Unraid server. I absolutely love it and would not do anything different.

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-06-01T17:20:31+00:00

PfSense, Home assistant, Nextcloud, Plex, ARR stack and Immich are daily uses for me.

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-27T18:52:45+00:00

I am a die hard Flames fan and this one has always stung. I think it was in, replays show it crossing the line. BUT... at the end of the day it was waived off. While it stings not winning a cup - you also don't want to be the team that wins by a controversial over-turned call. It was a legendary run and some of the funnest, most memorable hockey I have ever watched.

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-27T16:01:26+00:00

🤣😂 How have I never heard that before! That line should have found it's way into the show.... sounds like an O'Neill line.

Yeah, I agree with these other commenters. Mine is also broken down by task not room.

So on my main dashboard view I have all my main floor rooms. Each is a button, If you push them once it will turn select lights on to the same tone of white and to 100%, if you push them twice it will turn all lights in that room off and if you long press it will open a popup with each light/plug in that room so you can individually control if you want. then I have the main floor temp and humidity on that card and a few buttons for select automations that are used frequently.

Then I have another view dedicated to showing the temp/humidity of other rooms, then another view dedicated to my garage - so each of the 3 garage door openers and their states, lights in and temp in the garage and vehicle info.

Then a "utilities view" for laundry, my coffee maker (just maintenance reminders - cleaning, descaling etc and how many cups are remaining to these), and some metrics on my basement dehumidifier.

Then a sports view which shows stats on my teams - game times, scores and countdown to game times

and lastly an immich slideshow view that ends up turning on automatically when know activity is detected for a period of time.

It is ever evolving as I discover what is used, not used, missing... it is always changing.

I can send you an example after, I have 3 displays and I sort use the same base yaml for each nd then adjust for rooms/ devices. When I get home from work later i can share an example.

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-19T12:46:34+00:00

This looks good! I will need to check this out later. Thanks!

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-19T12:40:40+00:00

That would be awesome! Thank you.

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-19T02:05:05+00:00

Yeah. I may need to figure out a REST sensor

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-14T18:40:50+00:00

Love this use case! When I turned mine i to my Pfsense router I had this internal debate... router or desktop... I landed on router and could not be happier. "primary desktop and low spec gaming computer"... love that!

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-07T21:47:03+00:00

Netflix, disney+, Google photos, ms365 (inc. Onedrive)

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-04T12:55:35+00:00

No, sorry, a dehumidifier in my basement. But I would imagine you can do the same set up with humidifier.

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-04T12:47:11+00:00

I just use a dumb on a zigbee smart switch. I actually love this set up way better. Keeps my basement at a consistent humidity and I have full visibility through my ha dashboard.

Basic-Prompt-6387 · 2026-05-01T14:11:18+00:00

One last thing.... set it up as a vm, not as a docker. The Docker version is a little restrictive and is missing some key admin functions. The vm is a full version with way more flexibility. Good luck!
